Hey all
I recently bought a used pc in order to use it with the tv, to download, and to act as a storage unit for filmage etc.
It is a decent spec for such duties (fast dual processor, 4 gig ram and.. a wiped 500 gb hdd) I bought it from ebay from a company which buys up company pcs etc etc. Cost me £20 which is a bargain..
Anyway, it only has a vga connector on the mobo. So I found the requisite lead, hooked up pc and monitor (Samsung SMS27A550H 2 yrs old, and has HD and VGA connectors) Switched on pc... lights on whir click purr etc.. screen remained defiantly dark. Changed to new lead. Same prob. Attempted attaching same to smart tv......... not a thing.
My questions (apologise for stupidity etc... old age has arrived heheh): How might I install bleddy Windoze when I cannot see what is going on..... Am not bothered as to whether the VGA mobo connector is dead in the long run, as I have a few graphics cards hanging around somewhere but obv in order to use those I need to install drivers....
I am pretty certain that the pc is otherwise fine and dandy.. and I really do not recall coming across this problem before, but as I say........ age..
If anyone should be decent enough to help me, I will be immensely grateful!
Thank you in advance
